Okay but seriously, who's going to win this thing?

Will France make good on the home advantage?
Will Germany ride the crest of the Weltmeister wave?
Will Spain remind us how great they once were?
Will England's brave Harry Kane carry the Anglo-Saxons to victory?
Will Greece shock everybody and beat Poortugal in the final?

Depends on whether they engage tourney mode and actually play like the champions they are. Daily reminder that they lost to simple hoofball in Ireland and had problems winning against Georgia

>Will England's brave Harry Kane carry the Anglo-Saxons to victory?
'Arry Kane and Jamie Vardy could tear shit up together but Hodgson would never play both at the same time.
>Will Greece shock everybody and beat Poortugal in the final?
In order for Greece to qualify a multitude of European wars would have to break out. And we're talking about at least 10 at the same time.

France are loaded with talent, they have to be favourites followed close by germany and England.

Alli, Dier, and Barley will be unused subs and Rooney will start every game as striker and will be subbed exactly zero times.

You know it to be true.

It's sad because that is actually a good lineup but Wou is stuck in the late 90s

Guys im really worried about England.

I've been an ABE since i was little but for the first time i feel they're almost entirely a legit squad of good talent who worked hard to be where they are without any primadonnas at all.

But they're used to playing against shit defense which is why a lot of the attackers like kane and vardy are killing it rn. I don't think they'll stand a chance against the Lahms, Varanes, and Pepes (>). Theyre just not used to defense of that caliber.

At the same time we all know Hodgson will fuck it all up and ignore Alli, Dier, Vardy, and Kane in favor of Wilshere, Rooney, Henderson, and Milner.

It really sucks. Their potential is being stifled by a clueless manager living in the past.

Wut do Bongs?

No. Pogba will choke and will be a national shame. American liberals who don't follow the sport will mistake it for racism like they did when Mario Balotelli cried because he lost a game.

Nah they will choke it up and get knocked out by Greece anti football.

Yes

Semi-finals, will surprise everyone IMO

No, neither will be the finals. Greece will anti-football as hard as they can just like in the World Cup and ass blasted 3rd gen immigrants in Australia will act as if it makes them a better footballing nation than Australia

On paper Germany is the best team even though they've been playing like shit through the qualifyiers. But again so has everybody relevant else as well, perhaps because this time, a 24 teams Euro, it was piss easy to qualify anyway.

So they'll probably win. Unless they come our way some time during the k.o rounds. If that happens, they're out and they know it, because Manolo is kryptonite for the Eternal Krautske.

France got possibly the best squad on paper tbf. Will be a failure if they don't win.

Their ACoN team:

-------------Mandanda
Sagna - Varane - Sakho - Kurzawa
---------------Diarra
--------Pogba ---- Matudi
Coman - Benzema - Martial

Their Euro team

-------------Lloris
Debuchy - Koscielny - Laporte - Digne

Who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to extend the format to 24 teams? There are so many literally who countries that have no business playing in the Euro. I'm afraid the quality of the games will suffer.

That said, I really wanna see Belgium live up to expectations finally. They did make the quarterfinals '14, but in such a disappointing manner. Furthermore, I really can't wait to see Martial perform on the intl stage. It may be a bit too early to shine, but I unironically think he might develop to be the European R9 one day.

You can't be serious. He's actual trash.

He won't be back until March, and that doesn't give him much time to get match-fit and in form. He should be back-up to Baines, unless he can prove that he's really ready to play.

Everything else looks good though, actually bretty excited to see what that team could do.

Perin and Sportiello are both still better
he'll catch up soon tho as long as he keeps playing (so as long as Miha stays at Milan)

Probably, i was just saying that it was such a crazy idea to bring him, he is fucking 16 anyway so he'll time to play lots of Euros. And i dont think anyone would play Lopez (who is still injuried btw) over him even if Miha leaves, and they surely wont buy another keeper

How do you even classify this shit? What is its intended shape? Is that a sweeper in 2016? Why is there one guy manning the left flank all by himself? What do you achieve with a defensive diamond?

>What is its intended shape?
diamond 4-3-1-2 when defending (a) that turns into a very fluid 3-5-2 (or 3-4-1-2 with Insigne treq exploiting the space between the midfield and the attack) when the team is in possession of the ball (b)

>Is that a sweeper in 2016?
more like a roaming playmaker collecting the ball near the edge of the box

>Why is there one guy manning the left flank all by himself?
there's Bonaventura helping out covering the left side of the pitch

>What do you achieve with a defensive diamond?
- quick transition of the ball
- instead of hoofing it in the midfield or to your target man, you've got two (or even three, if your heart can handle the flamboyant Bonucci) reliable alternatives when the gk is forced to kick the ball in play which should give you the chance to avoid the opposition high pressing and to start the attacking play efficiently at the same time

>>
>>65506851
My personal opinion is that it can be attributed to gross mismanagement in the youth setup. The Netherlands have a bunch of ageing stars and some neat young prospects but nothing in-between. Name one good Dutch player between 24 and 28, there are simply no players in their prime in that squad.

Hiddink understood this problem and completely changed the way the team played. Historically the Dutch nt has always been playing very free-flowing and attacking football in a 4-3-3 formation, trying to preserve the national heritage that is totaalvoetbal. For the world cup Hiddink moved to a formation with 5 defenders and compensated his team's defensive weakness, but once the public forced him to play a 4-3-3 nothing lined up anymore.

It was van Gaal, Shitty Hiddink changed it back to 4-3-3.

I am not saying he isn't, just the fact that he was around for the most of my life.
I know there were goalies that could keep up with it well into their forties, but he's almost already there and doesn't show no signs of stopping.
[spoiler]Who other 4 are?[/spoiler]

Neuer and De Gaia are OK in my book.
Cech needs to convince me, since he joined Arse and they went on their usual early-year shit tour. But if he's not in top 5 he'd be in 6.
Curtois underperformed under Mou this season. But he's good.
All in all this looks solid.

>>65518473
Well, there were one or two Mexican goalies that were pretty good (I know, not exactly SA) and even Brazil had, like, Lama and that white guy.
And of course Navas and Bravo.

Russia 2 - England 0
